A great Father's Day

There are four things on my list a father should be able to do on this day. I'll add another pre-father day thing just to feel proud of myself.

On Friday The-Soon-To-Be-7-Year-Old had her annual ballet performance. I will post the video as soon as I can. There are only two dances, ballet and tap, with her that night, but I taped them using my DV camera. It takes a bit of time to take the videos off the DV.

Now, on to the father's day.

1. Go see some awesome cars. CHECK!

I think the upload was interrupted, there should be more pics there

2. Watch Star Wars. Contrary to my facebook update it wasn't on USA but on Spike. I was able to see a good portion of A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. CHECK!

3. Grill to the heart's content. Did some hot dogs, portobellas, and bratwursts. CHECK!

4. Finish off the day with a bowl of Ice Cream at Oberweis. CHECK!

An overall success.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther...

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Weekend happenings

As I sit here, writing the post, there is snow on the ground. It's April 6th, AND THERE IS SNOW! There was a considerable snow storm yesterday. At least Saturday was a great day. Our little suburb had a kite show going on. That was a great deal of fun. Yes, that is somebody flying the X-Wing kite.
